top: soon maternity | belt, skirt and sandals: target
my search for style has been on quite a journey in the past year—first learning to dress a bump (it’s been almost a year since i found out i was pregnant!) and now learning to dress my after-baby body.
honestly, in the past few weeks i have had a heck of a time putting together an outfit i’m proud of. (the one above was stolen from sydney.)
i’ve read that three months after you have a baby (which is NOW for me), you start to redefine your style.
i didn’t think it would happen to me.
but i can’t count the number of times in the past few weeks that i’ve wanted to throw out most of my clothes and start over.
it doesn’t help that spring/summer are difficult seasons for me to dress for anyway.
it’s getting so bad that last weekend i wasn’t sure we were going to get out of the house on time for rooney’s baptism until eric swooped in and picked out my outfit for me (i ended up wearing a repeat of this).
there are just too many things in that closet.
i’m thinking i need to do a big cleanout/sale soon and then be a lot more intentional going forward.
but i’ve said that before…

this outfit is so three weeks ago. no, really. i wore it three weeks ago when eric and i went on a date. to do romantic things like go to the bank and pick out landscaping plants. be jealous. i would be, too, if my life wasn’t this exciting.

i have to say that becoming a mom has made me appreciate my body so much more. just thinking about what it has been through and produced makes me really proud. it’s sort of empowering. and even though i only shower and get dressed every few days, it’s really more fun than ever before.
UPDATE: here’s a tip on the tank. don’t machine dry it! i just pulled mine out and it is half the length it was…sad face.

i was going to wear this exact outfit four weeks ago, the day rooney was born. an hour before i went to put it on, my water broke. (lucky for these tights. now they just have spit-up on them. does anyone know how to wash tights???)
